CINETMATIC COLLABORATION
If you were one of the lucky visitors of last year’s Festival de Cannes, you might have witnessed the first baby steps of a cinematic collaboration of the analogue kind. After last year’s mutual presentation at Festival de Cannes, MUBI, the online cinema and community for people who love film, teamed up with us to produce the very first clone of the gloriously analogue LomoKino camera. Dressed in plain white with colourful dots, it carries the signature of 2010 Palme D’Or winner Apichatpong Weerasethakul who also added a very special treat for you that will provide you with lots of inspiration to shoot your own LomoMovies. This beautifully designed limited edition is the perfect tool for aspiring filmmakers and movie aficionados alike.

MEET’N’GREET
On May 19 analogue film enthusiasts gathered in Cannes to witness the premier of the very first LomoMovie done by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, called “Ashes”.
